Nestled beside Dover Castle, the White Cliffs of Dover and overlooking Britain’s busiest ferry port, scheduled ancient monument Fort Burgoyne was acquired by the Land Trust in 2014, with the vision of making the site a key part of the community once more. Dating back to the 1860s, the Fort was built to protect Dover Castle and with its historical importance, imposing facade and abundant space, it is an amazing opportunity waiting to be unlocked. 

Fort Burgoyne offers an ideal opportunity for Green Angels training, with a wide range of tasks and activities presented in its buildings and associated land.  The project will provide new opportunities in a variety of skills training, encouraging community engagement and leading to an improved, vibrant and welcoming environment.
